THE LIFE OF HENRY WARD BEECH
Err, written by Jos. Howard, Jr., and
published by Hubbard Brothers of
Philadelphi, is work which possess
es three prime requisites of a popular
and model biography; it is accurate !;
it is interesting; and it is timely.
1t is an accurate reflection of that
many-sided man" of whom the au-
thor speaks so feelingly in his preface.
Take precious jewel, place it in the
sunshine, and each of its many polish
ed sides is radiant with flashing light.
Mr.. Howard has simply taken this
brilliant jewel, the manifold mind of a
great man, placedi it before the public
in its true light and the wonderful
character stands revealed in all its
simple beauty.
Mr.. Howard lets in the light upon
the great divine's inner life by per-
hitting him to speak for himself
through countless little anecdotes and
"reminiscences, and through many of
the gifted preachers personal letters
which have been published hitherto.
But Mr.. Towards biography is in
teresting as we'll as accurate-a merit
